Re: VMware-4.5 workstation under Debian/testing?

I am using VMWARE 4.5 workstation under Debian/testing 2.4.24 Sid -- 
works absolutely flawlessly on my Thinkpad X31 (I have Windowx XP as the 
Guest OS running under VMWARE to run all those nasty Windows apps I 
can't get a good equivalent for under Linux <yet> :) ).

Peripherals-wise, I have gotten everything working (CD, network, etc.) 
under the Guest OS -- with the exception that sound is slightly flaky, 
but I haven't played with it that much because it my current application 
sound isn't that important for the Guest OS.

I'm a big VMWARE fan.... I've used it under Debian, RH, and Windows XP, 
and VMware does a great job. The install was easy and without incident 
under Debian Sid.
